About our bath re-enamelling in Braystones
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Braystones
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Braystones
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
